By this, Raymond was trying to point out that top-posting on a list 
where the rules say to inline and bottom post makes the thread 
unreadable because topics look like:

 >>4

Where we can presume there's a question in 1, answered in 2 with 
additional questions in 2.  The questions in 2 are answered in 3, 
possibly with additional questions in 3.  The answer to the questions in 
3 or the reply to 3 is then in 4, and the response to 4 is in 5.  That 
makes it hard to follow the flow--and nearly impossible when there are 
multiple pieces of each response with inline posting.

Please bottom-post, here, just like you drive on the proper side of the 
road where you live, since everyone else does, too.  :)

If you're using Schedules Direct, there's absolutely no reason not to 
assign the same account/lineup to the 2 Video Sources (provided the 
lineup includes the superset of channels available on the 2 Video 
Sources).  MythTV will cache the information, so it only downloads once, 
even though the lineup is used by 2 Video Sources.

Also, when you fix it, run:

mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all

and consider using --dd-grab-all all the time for better guide data.  See:

and

for more information on how to use --dd-grab-all.
